Update
Tidbits of interesting information
from around Western Ontario
Only a few months ago we ran a story on
Fryfogel Inn near Stratford which talked
about people who stopped in wanting to eat
there, only to learn that it's not a real inn
anymore, just a museum. Well. by this
time next year people likely will be able to
eat at Fryfogel Inn.
Located near Shakespeare, east of
Stratford, it was built as a resting place for
the first settlers travelling the Huron Trail
from Guelph to Goderich. It was operated
by Sebastian Fryfogel from 1845 until 1860
when the Grand Trunk Railway was built
making it unnecessary as an inn.
The plan now calls for a restaurant to be
set up in part of the building with the rest
being used as a museum. The restaurant

will be set up in the same fashion as it
would have been before 1860, with
common tables at which all diners will sit
to eat dinners resembling those that would
have been offered at such an inn at that
period. The restaurant's kitchen, bathroom
and storage will be housed in a new
addition which will be built through the
help of a grant of up to 581,000 from the
Ontario Heritage Foundation. Already
some 560.000 has gone into restoring the
old building since it became a museum
says Tom Orr, chairman of the Perth
County historical Board which runs the
building. says another $120,000 in funding
will have to be raised. It is hoped Wintario
will pick up part of the amount. leaving
540,000 to be raised locally.
